Notes

An Alexander Holton on 11/1/1849 in Union County, Arkansas, Champagnolle Land Office, purchased 40 acres. Doc #822, 5th PM 019S - 017W NW¼NE¼ 21 ^[2] Could this Alexander be somehow related to Jane? Perhaps her husband? He wasn't enumerated in the 1850 and 1860 Union County census records.

There was an Alex Holton or Halton recorded in the 1840 census of Autauga, Alabama:

1m 30-40

2m 5-10

1fm 20-30

1fm 5-10

2f 0-5

1m 70-80 [possibly a smudge]

fm 40-50

Is there a connection between Winifred Ward and Jefferson Ward? Was he possibly her stepson?
